ABSTRACT
The reflected transmission signal can interfere with the direct signal from the satellite to produce unacceptable levels of signal degradation. In addition to fading, signal degradations can include intersymbol interference, arising from delayed replicas. The impact of the impairments depends on the specific application, namely in the case of typical Land MSC (LMSC) links, all measurements and theoretical analysis indicate that the specular reflection component is usually negligible for path elevation angles above 20o.
